Description of the invention (1) The scope of the invention This invention relates to the computer system. Specifically, this Mingfeng is about a computer system with a bus architecture. Background of the Invention Many computer systems are designed with a bus architecture. Such computer systems generally have processing components connected to the bus. Other system components are generally connected to the bus. Such other sister items include obvious sister items such as vq a and video memory, input / output (i / ο) sister items, system memory and health storage devices, and other processing sister items that can be accessed through the bus之 装置。 The device. One such computer system is an IBM personal computer (PC), and is manufactured by Niyo Armonk IB Μ Company. In order to display information to the users of the computer system, this computer system can generate Xia Li. It can also produce images on the left eye display device. A typical device for generating a displayable image is a bitmap that generates an image in a video memory. The n-bitmap is an array of one-bit memory elements, which corresponds to the pixel array on a typical video power. The method of adjusting the bit image to generate a video image is a well-known technology in the industry. In the previous computer system with processing sisters and display snippets connected to the bus, it is generally the responsibility of the sisters to generate most of them for displaying the sisters (bit map t. In addition to generating bit maps, processing The sister box transfers the bitmap between the SM and M-Block through a slower bus. So | when determining the performance of a particular application in a computer system, the bus speed is an important factor. Other Recognize the performance of these computer systems (please read the back-to-back items first and then write the book 7; this paper uses the national standard (CNS) «F4 regulation (210x297 male dragon) 81. 7. 20.000¾ (II) 305965 V. Description of the invention (2) · Factors include (1) the processing speed of the sister device, (2) the width of the data bus, and (3) the time to transfer the information between the display device (VGA) and the video memory. In the prior art methods, there have been several methods that can be used to change the performance of video graphics applications in bus-oriented computer systems. These methods include: (1) generating t the task of processing the video memory of the sister file and generating and transferring bitmaps * ⑵Use Two-fold gland-in and out port video animation "Machine Access_Jiyi LDR.AK) instead of a single I / O port DRAM to implement video memory, (3) use Iji I / O port K to implement Liquid Frequency Recorder * * but at the video sister The video data buffer and more complex arbitration sequence are used internally in the file, and M provides more frequent video memory access to the processing of the sister file. Each of these prior technologies will be described in the following. The first uses special video hardware According to this system, too many B-shaped breasts are damaged by crumbs. According to this type of system, the processing of sister files only writes a command word to the graphics sub-processor, and the sub-processor then adjusts the video memory and follows the instructions for processing sister files. Generate video images. However, the time-consuming cost of implementing such a system is high because of the need for additional components (such as graphics sub-processors and supporting hardware). Another disadvantage of this method is the need to write large i software drivers for the existing The software can be executed on a machine equipped with this secondary processor. Furthermore, the use of the secondary processor can prevent the computer system from cooperating with the existing sister device. N .. ~ M m. Prior art of dr. Method is also a According to this system, the C3C industrial price bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the C3C has a higher cost. According to this system, the display device is connected to one of the video memory output ports, and the processing device is connected to the second memory. The number of output is increased. Therefore, the number of processing pieces connected to the video memory needs to be increased. In addition to the higher cost, this method has another disadvantage, that is, additional editing is required > weight 4 81. 7. 20.000 sheets ⑻ (Please read it first and back to it.

In this way, a single access port DRAMK with a relatively low usage fee can be used for video memory. The overall performance of this method is still limited by the timing bandwidth of the bus of certain computer systems. Therefore, this method cannot achieve a significant increase in performance. Therefore, there is a need for a better device. M is used for processing communication between sister devices, displaying sister devices, and video memory to shorten the video memory and input / output access time, thereby reducing or eliminating bus contention.

GENCPU indicates the cycle status indication (whether this cycle is an input / output or memory cycle and whether it is a read or write cycle) and places the instruction on the high-speed Pi-bus connecting GEHCPU and GENVGA. The GENCPU also generates a start signal, PSTART #, to indicate the start of the Pi-bus cycle. GENVGA supervises the signal from GENCPU. When receiving the signal from GENCPU, it decodes the input command and the command received by Benshi. The GENCPU sends a PCMDI »command K to indicate that the Pi-bus cycle is in progress. When GENVGA completes part of its Pi-bus cycle, GENVGA sends a PRDY # signal back to GENCPU. The GENCPU completes its Pi-bus cycle by stopping the PCMD # signal.

Description of the invention (7) (please read the notes on the back ## Script 7). These Pi-Bus signals are used to control the flow of data from GENCPU 20 to GENVGA 40 without using a system bus line. The sequence of these Pi-Bus signals will be explained in the next section and exemplified in the timing diagram in Figure 2. The GENCPU includes two registers, represented by GAACR 21 and GABCR 2.2. These two registers are used to enable Pi_Bus 60. Scratchpad GAACR 2JJB Η 峰 Stores the dream location of the video memory. Temporarily store f GABCR ...._? 1 to store the end address of the recollection. The temporary memory 21 and 22 jointly define the address space in the video memory ----------------------------------------------... ...... ^ _. · — ·· between. The two registers GAACR 21 and GABCR 22 also include one bit M-enabled Pi-Bus. This bit must be set to enable Pi-Bus, so that the Pi-Bus cycle can be sent to the video billion range. Therefore, when the _command is acquired and executed by the GENCPU 20, the address associated with each instruction can be compared with the address space defined by the registers GAACR 21 and GABCR 22. If a command includes an address defined by these two registers and located within the range of video memory, and if the Pi-Bus bit is enabled, then Pi-Bus is enabled for direct access to the video memory, thus enabling GENCPU 20 directly sends the address signal to GENVGA 40. The video memory can be directly accessed by the GENCPU 20, which can be completed at a speed higher than that provided by the PI-BusM at the speed provided by the busbar 11 of the system 31 of the Yangshuo Department of Economics and Trade Bureau. Once Pi-Bus 60 is enabled • GENCPU 20 and GENVGA 40 will generate signals for all the video memories or _entry registers in GENVGA 40. The sequence of Pi-Bus signal is explained as follows. The GENCPU 20 obtains an input / output or memory access command from the normal flow of acquiring and executing commands of the memory 80. Each input / output or memory access command includes an operation code part and an address part. Operation code 9-This paper uses 88 Chinese standard (CNS) T4 specifications (2] 0Χ297 public goods) 81.7. 20.000¾ (II) Bi Yang, the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ A 工 消 " Cooperative Du Yin Slave Λ 6 _ _Π6_ V. Description of the invention (8) '(opcode) Implement specific operations on data at a specific address. The data in the video memory can be adjusted in this way. After obtaining an input / output or memory access command, the GENCPU 20 decodes the command to determine the target address of the command. This target address informs the address where the GENCPU operation code will be implemented. GENCPU then uses the GENCPU 20 registers GAACR 21 and GABCR 22 to compare the destination addresses. If the target address corresponds to the GENVGA space 40 programmed in registers GAACR 21 and GABCR 22, and if Pi-Bus 60 is enabled, GENCPU 20 starts a Pi-Bus cycle. If the address is not within the range of GENVGA defined by the registers GAACR 21 and GABCR 22 of the GENCPU 20, the command v is placed on the system bus 11. In order to start a Pi-Bus 60 cycle, the GENCPU 20 generates a start signal like PSTART # 102 shown in FIG. 2. This PSTART signal is then placed on the high-speed Pi-bus 60 by the GENCPU. Therefore, the GENCPU 20 can send the control signal directly to the GENVGA 40 without using the system bus 11. GEHVGA 40 uses the falling edge of PSTAIU to lock the address and status signal. Once G ΕΝCPU starts a PI-bus cycle, GENCPU 20 generates a VGACS command corresponding to GENVGA 40 and places the address of this command in Above Pi-bus 60. The GENCPU 20 also indicates the status of the instruction cycle placed on the high-speed Pi-bus 60. The GENCPU 20 indicates whether the cycle of the instruction is an I / O or memory cycle (PM / Ι0 #) or whether it is a read or write cycle (PW / Rtt). The sequence of these events is shown at 101 in FIG. 2. GENVGA 40 supervises the high speed of the signal sent by GENCPU 20 (please read the notes before you # 蜞 妙 本 7--10-this paper is used in the national standard (CNS) T4 specification (2 丨 0X297 ) 81.7. 20.000ik (H) Printed by the CX Workers ’Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Economic Development of the Ministry of Economics Λ 6 _ η 6 _ 5. Description of the invention (9) · Pi-bus 60. When GEHVGA 40 receives the instruction Pi- When the PSTART # signal at the beginning of the bus cycle, G Ε ΜΜVGA 4 0 selects high-speed PI-bus 6 0 ° When Pi-bus 60 is selected, GENVGA 40 receives the control signal from the high-speed Pi-bus 60 and from the system bus 11 and corresponds to the address signal and data of the GENVGA space 40. After the GENVGA 40 receives the command from the GENCPU 20 via the high-speed Pi-bus 60, it checks the command and decides to send it from the GENCPU 2 0 via the high-speed PI-bus 6 0 Whether the instruction cycle is an I / O or memory cycle and whether it is a read or write cycle. After the GENCPU 20 sends the PSTART # signal to the GENVGA 40 via the high-speed Pi-bus 60 *, the PSTART # signal is stopped and a PCMD # The signal is placed above the high-speed Pi-bus 60. This PCMDU signal indicates a positive Pi-bus cycle 2. Figure 2 illustrates the timing of PCHD # at 103. In addition, if the command cycle placed on the high-speed Pi-bus 60 by the GENCPU 20 is a write cycle, then the GENCPU 20 forces the data corresponding to the write cycle at this time Placed on the data bus. GEH VGA 40 then receives the data on the write cycle. Figure 5 at 105 and 106 illustrates when reading and writing data is placed on the high-speed Pi-bus 60. When GEHVGA 40 I have received the instructions from the GENCPU 20 corresponding to the GENVGA space 40 and completed this cycle by manned memory or I / O register. The Pi-bus cycle is completed. GENVGA 40 will now send the PRDYII signal Placed on Gundam Pi-bus 60, indicating that GEHVGA 40 has completed its PI-bus cycle part, that is, GENVGA 40 has received all the commands from GENCPU 2 0 included in the cycle and now informs GEHCPU 2 0 high-speed Pi- The bus 60 is no longer busy. The timing of the PRDYI signal is shown in Figure 2 (please read the countermeasures beforehand.

After the GENCPU 20 receives the PRDYtt signal from the GEHVGA 40, the GENCPU 20 stops the PCMD # signal, thus terminating the Pi-bus cycle. No PCMD # signal on the high-speed Pi-bus 60 means that there is no cycle on the high-speed Pi-bus 60. Therefore, the GENCPU can initiate a new Pi-bus cycle based on its descendants. Due to the use of PI-bus60, several advantages can be found. The minimum cycle time of the Pi-bus cycle is much faster than the existing system that uses the stacking system busbar. Similarly, the zero-wait time in the PI-bus cycle is shorter than the wait time in the system bus cycle. Another advantage of the PI-bus cycle is that without the need for software drivers, the performance of the TU diagram I is directly increased. All compatible software can be implemented on the system with Pi-bus without modification. The final PI-bus cycle agreement is not limited to video graphics applications. Any fast side controller can use Pi-bus protocol as a means to improve system performance. It is recognizable that the above-mentioned invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or main features shown in this article. Therefore, it can be understood that the present invention is not limited by the foregoing exemplary details, but is defined by the appended patent application.
